Hi Guys,
Im new to this forum but was hoping i can get some help, i read all the related articles before submitting my case so here goes.
On 1st August 2010 i got a OTA update from HTC for the HTC Desire Unbranded handset.
I downloaded the update over wifi onto my sd card. Then it asked do you wish to install the update so and so so i said 'install now', it performed some backup operations but it said failed to backup settings and automatically restarted the phone.
I got a green bar on the phone so i assumed this was the update in progress. It got to the end and restarted again and i got another green bar. That got to the end and it finally said on the black white htc screen congratulations you have installed the updated so and so.
The phone started.
I realised my sim card was blown away from this update, lost my apn settings, sim card was totally blown. So i called Orange. Told them to send me a new sim card. Anyway prior to me realising about the network. The phone rebooted almost 50 times god knows what it was doing, and eventually i got so mad i switched it off.
Anyway i got a sim card from orange but this problem is not seem to go away, it keeps restarting on its own and i dont have a clue why?
Here are the apps i have installed:
Advanced Task Manager
Aloqa
APN Backup & Restore (decided to get this after first incidence all my apn settings were blown away)
AppBrain
Apps Installer
Aweson Drop
Better Keyboard
Bollywood Hindi Radio
Call filter
Es File Explorer
Extended Controls
Fring
Goggles
Gtasks
Handcent SMS
London Tube Status
Lookout Security
Wave Secure (uninstalled this thought this was the problem)
MP3 Download
Orange Wednesdays
PicSay Pro
Ringtone Randomiser
Sky News
Toss it
The weather Channel
Zedge
Launcherpro
Mybackup pro
Now i unistalled wavesecure thought it was the problem but im still having the problem. When i start My ATK i see there is almost 30 processes running of allmost all the apps when i have not even started them, before when i had 2.1 this never happened and im confused about this.
To be honest. Ive tried tried no result. I even called HTC support they told me to Hold the volume rocker down and power to go into the boot menu and select clear storage i did this.
I put all my phone back together from backup files and settings as everything was erased. Still the phone is restarting on its own.
Any solutions i can try people any help would be appreciated.
Check on your SD card if the update is ~90MB (not branded).
The OTA my phone pulled was about 50MB, but when I googled the filename and re-downloaded the file on my PC the actual size was 90MB. The phone had downloaded just over half of the OTA and went ahead with the update, only to break just about everything. I guess a warning sign was the backup of my settings had an error, and that the update took ages. The real hint that everything was broken was when the phone didn't ask for my SIM pin, had no wifi and rebooted itself every few minutes.
Ended up wiping the phone and hacking the 1.21 WW full RUU ROM back onto the phone, then updating to the 2.09 OTA downloaded on the PC (via reboot > recovery > update.zip).
hey guys, so a month or so ago I flashed a new rom. I think I messed up with the restore though because I remember that Titanium Backup asked if I wanted to update my android ID.
I did.
Everything that i use everyday works fine - EXCEPT - two things that I have noticed.
chrome to phone doesnt work (instant unable to connect error)
And pushing apps from the app store on the web doesnt work (although the playstore on my phone works fine)
I also noticed in the settings of the play store (web based) that it is not showing my phone as being connected anymore.
To be more precise, the "last used" column just has " - - "
So I'm guessing I boned the android ID.
So I did a complete wipe and reinstalled the rom from scratch. Did not restore any apps from the market or from TiBu.
The phone will not show up on the webbased version of the store.
I added my secondary gmail account and it saw it! I was able to push. This is good, but I have purchased apps from the other account.
I wanted to test it out, so i factory reset and added my secondary gmail account as my main.
Now THAT wont push! I have no idea whats going on and how to correct this issue.
[Q]dropbox show "thumbnail failed to load" or "strorage full or unavailable"
[Q]dropbox show "thumbnail failed to load" or "strorage full or unavailable"
My phone is galaxy SPH-L710, android 4.4.2, I cannot use dropbox, it shows "thumbnail failed to load" when I click photo, and shows "strorage full or unavailable" when I click office file.
I have tried factory-reset, it did not help. the my dropbox works fine in other android devices or ipad.
could someone help me to resolve this issue? thanks a lot!
I resolved the issue.
I received the same model phone (SPH-L710 with rooted Android 4.4.2 + TWRP 2.7.x) from FreedomPop last Dec. 2014 and had two issues with the FreedomPop installation.
- TWRP 2.7.x (installed by FreedomPop) didn't work properly. Didn't show partition.
- FreedomPop ROM 4.4.2 didn't allow 3rd party apps to write anything to internal SD card (/storage/emulated/0).
The second issue caused a lot of problems on many applications to me, including your problem. Here are several symptoms I experienced with the FreedomPop ROM (4.4.2).
- Viewing image on Dropbox failed. (Thumbnails failed to load).
- Saving offline map in Google navigation failed.
- Minecraft did not start up properly (and several other games).
- Viewing image received in KakaoTalk failed.
- Downloading podcast in Podcast Republic app didn't work.
- ... and probably many more. Basically any 3rd party application saving anything into internal SD card (not external SD card, it worked fine) failed.
Here is the summary of what I followed to fix all the problems.
1. Re-installed Sprint stock ROM 4.4.2 (don't go back to any lower version) by following http://www.rwilco12.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=716. This fixed the SD card permission issue completely.
Changes:
- The OS became unrooted (It will be rooted again by #2)
- TWRP was removed (It will be installed again by #3)
- The operator name was 'Sprint' (It will be changed to 'FreedomPop' by #4)
- The 4G/3G worked with Sprint network, good.
- The standard phone/messaging apps didn't work. (It will be fixed by #5)
2. Rooted the phone by following http://www.idigitaltimes.com/samsun...rint-sph-l710-variant-and-install-custom-roms. This is required to use TWRP Manager app in step #3.
Changes:
- The phone is now rooted. Use Root Checker app to verify the result.
3. Installed TWRP Manager app from Google Play. Installed TWRP 2.6.3.0 using TWRP Manager app (no lower, no higher than this. Use 2.6.3.0). Note the default version TWRP 2.7.x didn't work properly. This is used in step #4.
Changes:
- You are able to reboot into TWRP recovery from TWRP Manager app, or using volumn up-power-home buttons.
4. Applied APN fix by following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2798619. Used ES File Explorer to copy "Freedompop APNs fix.zip" to phone. Used TWRP to flash/install the zip.
Changes:
- The operator name is displayed as 'FreedomPop'.
5. Installed FreedomPop apps from Google play
Changes:
- The dialer for voice call is replaced with FreedomPop's one.
- A new app FreedomPop Messaging is installed for SMS.
Now, all the issues are fixed:
- SD card issues fixed (so all 3rd party apps are now working fine including Dropbox)
- 4G/3G network is available as before.
- Voice service is available as before with the same number I received from FreedomPop.
- SMS is available as before.
This is the Final version of Colour OS for the Find7
Rooted with Gapps Nano instead of full. It's rock solid stable.
Hopefully this means that Oppo will soon be realising the Find 8!

Internal memory error
Anyone else getting this error? After I restore my apps from titanium, there is no space in the internal memory. (2.9gb of 2.9gb used)
I tried going into the application manager and move apps to sd but there is no option at all to move applications anywhere. Only clear cache and clear data.
Tried app 2 sd apps and even titanium backup to move the apps to sd but after the process is complete, it says process done but the internal is still full and apps are still in the phone.
Can anyone help?

I haven't tested it, but this ROM might support LVM, give it a try. (backup first)

Smooth!
Great ROM m8. Buttery smooth and lightweight without bloat, just how i like it.
Has anyone gotten xposed to work on this? I tried the lollipop zip and apk, but it doesn't seem to work
I was able to install the lollipop version of Xposed. This was installed via flashing only, you need to see the XDA discussion on this (sorry I can't provide a link)
I installed the following modules:
Fix Lollipop Memory Leak
Greenify
Never Sleep
Obb On SD
Xstana
XuiMod
Above mods I have tested to be working without any bugs.
@jun1662

I will try to visit your topic on the sense later when COS 2.1.1i reaches stable version, this I will definitely test. I did previously attempted to install the launcher when it was still in the 6th version, however, knowing for a fact that the COS launcher is still consuming RAM in the background I decided to stick with color-launcher. I really am used to the sense launcher coming from HTC M7 (my previous unit)myself. By the way the M7 is now a paper weight. Don't ask, it just stop without warning hence the Find7a.
New available update message
Got the new beta update message on my phone today. So we'll probably lose root if we update right? The message said root may cause problems.

Actually, if you're rooted, you won't be able to run the update. It will definitely fail. I suggest the following:
1. Backup your apps and data using COS Backup and restore app this must be stored in your ext SD Card
2. Using the stock colorOS recovery flash the update (downloaded file) (TWRP will not work)
3. Reboot
4. Unify storage if you prefer (this will unify your partition using LVM)
5. Restore your app using the same COS backup and restore option from step 1.
6. Enjoy
Cheers

Hei sniper joe
I wanna try you're Rom but Mega link isent working for me?
Would you please make a mirror or something?
Thx in advance
Could anyone boot into recovery mode after flashing this? Mine stuck at fastboot no matter via quickboot or voldown + power. Please advise. Thanks a lot.
I have a Redmagic 6 Pro and just did a System Update to the latest OS - NX669J_UNCommon_V4.21.
Messages is now not showing Contact Names. Most of my contacts are setup with international Codes +XX. Messages is showing local number 0XX.
Is there a fix for this?
P.S. This has changed as there was no issue prior to the update.
I am having the exact same problem. Very frustrating. If anybody can find a fix it will be very much appreciated. If not hopefully they issue a patch to correct this problem sooner rather than later.
Is anyone else having this problem?
There were similar reports for other users back when Android 9 was released (on other devices).
If you haven't already, try clearing the cache of the messages app; if that doesn't work, try clearing data and cache (shouldn't affect you actual messages, but back up just in case) and finally, try uninstalling the last update to the app (if you can) and reinstall afterwards.
Also, make sure messages has permissions granted to access contacts. Make sure the international code is present in contacts phone numbers.
I don't have a RM6 (got 5G) - my spouse does but hasn't updated yet.
UPDATE: FOUND FIX.
1- In factory Contacts app, open advanced settings and export v.card back-up of contacts.
2- Clear data and cache in factory Contacts app, phone app, and messaging app.
3- Reboot phone.
4- In contact app, import v.card back-up to phone and default Gmail.
5- All should be good.
(Not all steps may be necessary.. it's just what I did to get things working).
Hey mate. Thanks for this. I actually cleared contact data and resynced back to my Google account and I think that also fixed it (for some reason I couldn't find the vcard after I exported).
Another issue I have noticed. If you get a Message from an unknown Contact you can Choose "Add Contact" but there is nowhere to add a new Contact, only to search and add to existing.
Thanks for your follow up.

Can confirm - clearing data on contact storage is all that's needed.
